Ball Qala Event
Rhythm! Romance! Glamour! Gaiety! All held sway at the most gala event of the season—the Senior Ball. The gym was very at¬ tractively decorated with colors of the rainbow starting with rich vio¬ let, and shading into the more delicate lines of pinks and blues.
Dame Fashion dominated the scene as the "belles of the ball" appeared in the latest styles and shades blending well with the rain¬ bow colors of the decorations. The dark "tuxes" of the gentlemen made a stviking contract. Lovely, scented corsages worn by many of our fair ladies added to the en¬ chantment of the scene.
Balloons in various colors, red, white, orange and blue, were sus¬ pended across the ceiling and lent a note of the bizarre and fun when they were suddenly dropped upon the unsuspecting dancers, who im¬ mediately proceeded to burst those secured by their neighbors.
A sip of cooling punch was quite refreshing between numbers (Continued on pase 4)
Dr, Armstrong Appointed Member of Education Policies Commission
It has been announced by the Educational Policies Commission at its headquarters in Washington, 0. C, that Doctor Dallas W. Arm¬ strong, President of the State 'Teachers College at Lock Haven, has been appointed a member of the Educational Policies Commission.
The Commission was appointed for a five-year term by the joint action of the National Education Association and the Department of Superintendence to develop long-.-ange planning for the improvement of the American school.

The members will receive important materials pvepaved by the Central Committee and will be asked to assist the Commission by expressing opinions on issues submitted, by raising additional issues to be considered by the Commission, by disseminating its recommenda¬ tions, and by reporting conclusions of impovtant committees of which the consultants ave members.
Library Shelf Filling Up Fast
Dr. North Announces Acquisition of Several Loan Library Books
The Loan Library reports the acquisition of a number of new books during the last week. Among them are two of the present best¬ sellers: OLD JULES, by Mari Sandoz, and LIFE WITH FATH¬ ER, by Clavence Day.
The formev is a novel dealing with pioneev life in the Middle West. The chief chavactev. Old, Jules, holds the center of the stage by the qualities which make him "diffevent." Some of his actions are truly amazing.
Clarence Day's book deals with an equally interesting character. Anyone who wants to understand the American family and who en¬ joys humor owes it to himself to vead the novel.
PARTNERS IN PLUNDER is a book of a diffevent sovt. Its sub¬ title, "The Costs of Dictatorship," suggests its timeliness. If you really want to know some of the facts of behind-the-scenes activity in Amevican life today, you will be intevested in this new expose by one of the associates of Con- sumevs' Reseavch, Inc.
Old-time favorites which have been best-sellevs in their day, and which will give the lover of good novels several pleasant hours are: Ellen GUusgow's THE ROMANTIC COMEDIANS (Miss Glasgow is, you know, the authov of the cur¬ rent best-seller, VEIN OF IRON);; Joseph Hergesheimer's THE PAR¬ TY DRESS; and Anne Parish's THE PERENNIAL BACHELOR. The popularity of the last-named novel is attested by the fact that j it has been reprinted nineteen j times. j

Reporter Has Ear to Ground and Gets Inside Information on Events
Have you seen the girls walking avound the campus with bright col¬ oved costumes ovev their arms? Have you heard any of these same girls mutter, "I've got to practice my exercises"? Have you failed to find Miss Dixon sitting down and resting?
These are all signs of prepara¬ tion fov the annual Spving Festi¬ val.
Some of our most historic cos¬ tumes ave the Mexican jackets. Pevhaps some of ouv Fveshman givls fvom Lock Haven, who at¬ tended the tvaining school, will be intevested in knowing that they wove, in the third gvade, the chil¬ dven's blouses fvom which our Mexican jackets are made.
Our Russian tunics weve fovmer¬ ly athlete's costumes, and our Rus¬ sian petticoats—well, ask Miss Dixon about theiv ovigin. The chil¬ dven's gvoup will pvesent a color¬ ful away of costumes.
Exevcises always have a prom¬ inent part in our festival. Few ap¬ pveciate the houvs of havd wovk these dvills take. One is rewarded, however, by the thrill that comes fvom being a pavt of this lavge gvoup wovking in perfect harmony. Much credit should go to Miss Dixon fov hev clevev planning and for hev patience in working with almost two hundred girls.
This year the festival is built on a tvip around the United States. You will visit the mining country, an Indian reservation, a Mexican Festa, and other spots just as in¬ tevesting. The tvip is climaxed by a scene fvom the Mavdi Gras at New Orleans.
